Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1505

The world slowed around Sylas. In fact, the gap was even larger than it was usually.

He had already noticed long ago that it wasn't that the Sloth was exceptionally fast, but instead that he had slowed down considerably. There was a perpetual domain hanging around the Sloth that made him and everyone he came into contact with especially slow. Usually, Sylas' Temporal Delay Progenitor Flame Ability would be able to blow this out of the water. But this domain wasn't a normal one, even going as far as to infect Sylas' Will as well. Due to that, even his Temporal Delay was compromised, making it hard for him to see the world as quickly as he usually did.

If there was a third party observing this battle, it might have even looked like they were a pair of mortals exchanging fists. To the people of Earth, they might have looked like martial arts experts. But to powerful Level 50s across the universe—or even the weakest of them—they would have looked like they were battling in a vat of thick honey. Restrained to this level, there was too little that Sylas could do. Even his Rune drawing speed was compromised.

Now that the Sloth had increased his power even further, the gap only became more obvious.

The worst part?

Sylas was absolutely certain that the Sloth was only doing this because he couldn't be bothered to use his full power due to the hassle of it all. As such, the Sloth preferred for them both to move slowly rather than forcing himself to elevate far beyond Sylas' own speed. Newest update provided by ⓝovelFire.net

Just the sheer amount of suppression was shocking. For Sylas, who could cross a kilometer in a few leaps now, to be restricted to the speed of a Level 0 on Earth... that was a suppression far greater than just 90%.

Sylas had never heard of a technique that was so powerful, and it was hard to believe that it came from an F-tier at all—especially since even a +10,000% to his Will couldn't seem to counter it in the slightest.

Or, rather, his +10,000% to his Will only managed to allow him to move about as fast as this.

However, while others might not have noticed this, Sylas had noticed it from the instant the Sloth moved the very first time. And because of that, he knew that if he didn't do something about this, he would lose handily.

The Sloth was already faster and stronger than him even without this domain. If he started to use his real Speed and Strength, and this Domain was active, Sylas would die without even knowing what happened.

Unfortunately for the Sloth, he had waited too long.

Sylas broke it.

Suddenly, Sylas' perception could finally see the world as it was again. The movement of the Sloth was practically slow motion. He could see the roar hanging from the latter's lips, the ripple of his wax-like muscles and flesh, the new growths appearing on his body or preparing to form at a moment's notice.

Sparks of electricity burst along the soles of Sylas' feet as he slid down to the ground. He caught himself, his body bleeding out from the hole in his chest as a complex mesh of Runes was laid out onto the ground, spreading with Sylas as their center.

[Unbridled Domain]

Lightning shot out from the corners of Sylas' eyes in a continuous streak of bolts. There was a flash, and silvery scales coated his body, a halo instantly healing him back to full health.

He took a single step and exploded forward, his Speed orders of magnitude faster than the Sloth.

BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG.

Sylas unleashed a barrage the likes of which their battle had never seen, his stats fusing with Nosphaleen's in a perfect blend of power and utter, complete destruction.

The Sloth's body deformed, his bones splattering to paste under Sylas' barrage as a Scorpion Tail descended from above, piercing right into his neck.

BOOM.

Sylas looked at this screen, not feeling much of anything.

Something was wrong.

His Primus Imperium Title hadn't evolved like it should have. So how had he cleared the Quicktime Event?

Sylas turned his head to the side, and the wall warped as a piece of wax appeared and then began to bubble.
